Understanding the host genetics of chronic hepatitis B and C.

Seminars in liver disease - 1 May 2011

Thursz Mark, Yee Leland, Khakoo Salim

Abstract excerpt

The outcome of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections are heterogeneous, ranging from an asymptomatic self-limiting infection to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Several viral environmental and demographic variables have been identified as determinants of disease outcome, but these fail to explain a large proportion of the variability. Evidence from twin studies suggests that the...
